What the Babies Would Say: Bill O'Reilly's response to Mary Elizabeth Williams

It is one of life's great
mysteries that so many liberal people are so callous when it comes to aborting
fetuses. I mean, the Democratic Convention last summer was almost a pro-abortion
pep rally, as a variety of pro-choice speakers, including the self-proclaimed
"Catholic woman" Caroline Kennedy, knelt at the altar of "reproductive
rights."

Recently, another woman who calls herself a Catholic, Mary
Elizabeth Williams, wrote a shocking article on the website Salon. Entitled "So
What If Abortion Ends Life?" Ms. Williams starkly states: "I believe that life
starts at conception. And it's never stopped me from being
pro-choice."

In the body of the article Williams says this about her own
pregnancies: "I never wavered for a moment in the belief that I was carrying a
human life inside me.

"(But) here's the complicated reality in which we
live: All life is not equal. That's a difficult thing for liberals like me to
talk about ... a fetus can be a human life without having the same rights as the
woman in whose body it resides. She's the boss. Her life and what is right for
her ... should automatically trump the rights of the non-autonomous entity
inside of her. Always."

So now a developing fetus or viable baby
ingesting in the womb is a "non-autonomous entity." Good grief!

The
measure of a decent human being is how he or she treats the defenseless. The
philosophy of Ms. Williams echoes past tyranny: "Might makes Right!" What gives
Mary Elizabeth Williams the right to determine that her life is better than the
baby she carries? Who appointed Ms. Williams the arbitrator of who lives and who
dies? Always, Ms. Williams? Abortion is acceptable always?

We are not
talking about life endangerment or catastrophic damage to the mother here. No.
What Williams believes, and she's not alone, is that a woman can execute her
fetus simply because "she's the boss."

You may remember the late term
abortion doctor George Tiller. For $5,000, Tiller would drill a hole into the
skull of a baby anytime up until birth. Tiller had an assistant in his Kansas
clinic, Dr. Kirstin Neuhaus, whose assignment was to put on paper a reason for
the late termination. Pretty much any reason would do - including
"anxiety."

On May 31, 2009, Dr. Tiller was shot through the eye while
attending a church service. His killer, Scott Roder, is serving life in prison.
The murder made national headlines and in many press dispatches, Tiller was
portrayed as a martyr. People like me, who had criticized Tiller before the
vicious crime, were accused by far left loons of encouraging the assassination.

On June 22, 2012, Dr. Kristin Neuhaus was informed that Kansas
authorities had revoked her medical license. A judge ruled that she did not
properly perform medical examinations of eleven abortion patients. The
prosecution said that Neuhaus was a "threat to any future patients she might
have."

Not to mention the babies she helped Tiller abort.

There
comes a time when a human being has to either face evil or admit to allowing it.
Abortion is legal in the United States but it should not be celebrated or used
as a political tool. Viable babies are human beings. If they could talk they
would tell Mary Elizabeth Williams and other pro-choice zealots that their lives
should not be marginalized by someone who thinks she's the boss. That's what the
babies would say.
